2 Platform overview

In 2015 Macmillan Science and Education, which includes Palgrave Macmillan, and Springer Science+Business Media merged into Springer Nature.

Springer Nature is home to an array of respected brands providing quality content through a range of innovative products and services. In creating Springer Nature we strive to deliver extensive content with our ultimate goal being to offer ease of access, search, and ability to purchase.

As part of Springer Nature, Palgrave Macmillan journals are now poised to take advantage of Springer’s extensive network and enhanced technology to improve both content delivery and submissions systems for our customers and authors via springer.com and SpringerLink. In addition, Palgrave Macmillan journals will now be unified with Palgrave Books on palgrave.com, allowing a more seamless browsing experience across these product portfolios.

Platform overview

What does this mean?  From June 1, 2016, Palgrave Macmillan journals’ content hosted on palgrave-journals.com will be moved and made accessible on SpringerLink. This move will reunite Palgrave Macmillan journals and eBooks on to the same platform with all Springer journals. The benefits of a single platform will be an improved user experience and more consolidated library administration functions.  The Palgrave Journals main page and information pages have all moved to a new home on palgrave.com. You can also browse journals by subject alongside Palgrave books in these areas.  Journal links from palgrave.com will lead you to the relevant product pages on springer.com, where you can see detailed title and submission information and search and browse for articles.  Visitors to the palgrave-journals.com platform will be automatically redirected to relevant pages on the new platform. . There are two title exceptions: International Abstracts in Operations Research (IAOR) and the open access title Palgrave Communications. Both journals, which have unique functionality, will remain on the palgrave-journals.com platform for the time being.

What’s new for authors? What‘s new for authors: production workflow

From June 1, 2016 Palgrave journal articles will be published using the Springer production workflow. This includes an advanced e-proofing system which offers authors an easy way of making corrections to their article online, reducing the time it takes to correct proofs and publish your work.

Once the initial proof of your article has been corrected and finalized, the article is ready for Online First publication. The article will be forwarded for online publication on SpringerLink in one to two week’s time after the receipt of corrections.

The Online First service lets users access peer reviewed articles well before print publication. These articles are searchable and citable by their DOI (Digital Object Identifier). With Online First publication the time it takes for critical discoveries to reach the research community is significantly reduced. This replaces the Advance Online Publication (AOP) service on the palgrave-journals.com platform.

16 What‘s new for authors: increased discoverability

Palgrave Journals are now discoverable across three platforms, bringing additional exposure to your article.

17 What‘s new for authors: article metrics

Authors can view article-level metrics (ALMs) thanks to our partnership with Altmetric, which tracks and analyzes the online activity surrounding scholarly literature.  This allows us to show detailed statistics on each article’s coverage and discussions in the media and on blogs; any bookmarking, ratings and discussions via bibliographic tools and sites such as Papers, Mendeley and ResearchGate; and social media sharing via platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Google+.  If available, the number of shares (based on Altmetric data) for each article is provided alongside citations (based on CrossRef data) on its abstract page on SpringerLink, helping you and your readers to assess the reach and impact of your article.

18 What‘s new for authors: social sharing

Authors can also easily share their research with colleagues using the social sharing buttons on SpringerLink article pages.
